Not so terribly long ago; it was 'taboo' for a 'WASP' person to date let alone marry an Italian, Irish, etc--------never mind that all of the above today would be counted as 'Anglo' Whites.
I think these topics of conversation are in a sense pointless. Why do we blog about it? Whose approval do we really need? And whose approval effectively dissolves the issue? Also, tell me why do we feel the need to justify interracial dating by inaccurately generalizing what others (particularly: "Hindus, Catholic, and Jews") do and then quickly adding, "why not is it an issue [when they do it]?" or "and yet whites are always called racist [if they date within their race]?"
Be committed to making decisions based on your feelings and don't be swayed by society because look at how far we've come because of those who have protested the masses for something that they believed in? Something that they/we deserved? Granted, we still have a way to go. Let's continue moving forward and never backward on behalf of those same sentiments.
Also, "someone that will understand the issues she'll face in the real world, someone who can identify with her life experiences and communicate." --- No one will ever understand or be able to identify with a person or group of people who segregate themselves for just that reason. I understand what you mean, but. even if it's not to date or marry, don't assume things and give people a chance
Racism goes all ways. It only becomes a big deal when it involves blacks and whites. I think it's funny what some people consider 'racism'. I was asked out by a guy from a different cultural background than mine, and I told him no. He couldn't get it out of his head that I wouldn't date him because he wasn't black and to this day he calls me racist. I wouldn't date him because of his WIFE.
I have no problem with black women saying they will date nonblack men because they want to date people on human qualities, not race or ethnicity. I have a serious problem hearing that some black women will date nonblack men, or exclusively nonblack men, because there aren't any suitable black men available. I have a serious problem with that line of hogwash.

Same here and I despise when black men say the same.

OMG it's getting rediculous around here. If you have any seniority to your life experiance and claim you don't know somebody in your family who would prefer you settled down with "our own kind" you're living some sort of nedflanderish crossbred with aunti mame life. God Bless and you don't belong here!
And even if when you sorta did settle down with somebody you thought met with universal approval and it went south somewhere the excuse was brought up that they were "different" from us.
I'm sorry the woman turned you down because of your race. I am a black woman and I date white men. I haven't had any issues or problems. I'm fortunate that I have a small family and they don't care what race I date as long as he is a good person. I have never had to deal with anything like them telling me not to date/marry someone. I wonder about the white men, though. Do their families tell them it's ok to date a black woman but don't marry one, etc?
